[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KenGraham:
Streaming Netflix through HDMI does work. The playback of Android Market rented movies through the Transformer Prime to a TV does not work. I do suspect that this is Google limitation in order to offer movies cheaper.

It forces me to put my laptop to my TV and play the movie.

FYI. I also have an Apple iPad 2 and it allows for iTunes rented movies to be played to TV via HDMI and a their propriety HDMI adapter.

This is a disappointment that Google is seeming to limit this on their portable devices. I'd like to hear an official word though.

Here is Google's help message for watching movies on your HDTV:

Watching on your HDTV

To watch movies rented on Android Market on your HDTV, you'll need:

an HDTV that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)—check your tv manufacturer's website to see if your HDTV is HDCP compliant

a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable or an MHL adapter and HDMI cable, depending on your device

Once you connect your device to your HDTV, the screen of your device should be mirrored on your HDTV (both display the same content), with the audio playing on your HDTV. If the video plays without audio on your HDTV, you may need to change the input in your HDTV's audio settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
Well, allegedly my Sony 40EX503 is HDCP compliant (though I couldn't find anything about this on Sony's website), but I cannot get Google Play movies to work. Any other videos - from a file or YouTube - work fine. I don't know whether this is due to some technical issue or Google say one thing on the help website, and do another in Play.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
It has to be a technical issue because if you watch it through your pc through the same exact 1080p monitor that won't work for the prime it works fine from the PC, same HDMI cable and everything.

I imagine the MPAA agreement would be the same for watching on a pc as it is for watching through the Prime to a big screen, both 1080p just one is bigger.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
100 percent not true did it today
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
Use OTA rootkeeper to play the videos on the prime if your prime is rooted. I've tried this on my Prime and E4GT and works like a charm.

My tv is not HDCP compliant (Olevia 537H) but during the Xmas holiday I was able to play A Christmas Carol streamed through my E4GT with an MHL adapter. I tried Inglorious Bastards last night through the prime to hdtv and it would not play - I was extremely disappointed. I will be asking for my money back.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
I am getting a strange experience with my device...Sometimes when I press the Home button I get a yellowish lockscreen and If I unlock then all the display repeats the color texture...

I dont know wat to do.I tried taking a screenshot when screen does this but the saved image is perfect...

This goes away when I click on the lock button on the right and press hom eonce again...all returns to normal... :confused:

device is rooted with CWM: no new kernel or rom installed ...counter is still 0

I do not want to take to Samsung center unless its a HW issue...:(

The image doesn't make sense...please tell me if i can get some logs when i press home button...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
1 thing I forgot to tell, I did a complete reset both from cwm and from settings...if that helps.

device info:

version 2.3.5

India

Kernel : 2.6.36.3-I9103XWKI5

Baseband: I9103DDKH4
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] SPLESH:
This is most probably hardware issue or maybe low level firmware (not rom) and service center is your only choice, you can flash it to you stock (if you find it) and take it to repair
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
but how will I show this problem to them?? I cannot reproduce the problem at all....it comes without any reason...today it came twice...once it showed just a white blank screen when a message came instead of lock screen...

When the problem came i even took a screenshot but that was surprisingly fine.... :O
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
Please help me understand if this is a HW or OS problem>>>

I took some photos luckily...hope you guys can see
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ishafiq:
Flash your stock ROM and see if any improvement..Otherwise service center is the only choice..

Seems like a faulty LCD...Can go for a warranty RMA..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
ok..so now how can i get my warranty back...I have rooted and there's cwm

but the counter is 0..

If i try to put indian romback on it then wont the counter show 1??

Please tell wat to do
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Dude, just 1) flash your original firmware, and 2) wipe data/factory reset (u can do it in recovery mode or settings->privacy->factory data reset both of them works equally good)

Custom flashing counter NEVER increases after original firmware installation!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
Got it..warranty is back in order... :) will take it back today lets c wat they say
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] divzzen:
What happened after that? Please update...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dragonknight945:
wow sry totally forgot... ok in a quick summary...

If ur phone behaves like the pics that i've uploaded above, then u definitely need a replacement of phone...

I took it to the service center and they called up the guy who sold it to me and told me return it along with the box...after 3 days voila i got a rand new SGR...NOW its kickass :D
[HTC EVO 3D] psiklone:
hi guys i got a replacement phone for my broken evo 4g and I'm getting the evo 3d tomorrow. i usually dislike when people do this but now i understand sometimes its nice to be given direction when u really don't know the development somewhere. what are the recommended or most used roms for the 3D. maybe a few sense and a few aosp rom names. i am very curious as to what the top dogs of the evo 3D are!
[HTC EVO 3D] genjiff:
Sense roms:

Viper's redline (best imo)

Myn's warm 2.3

Virus' eternity

Aosp:

MIUI

Ics from joelz or decks

Kernel:

Chad's

Tiamat

Ziggy

Hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
In addition to the list provided above, some rough methods of being able to gauge popularity/quality are by looking at view/post count on a thread.

Also, skim read through some of the posts in the thread looking for either issues or praise and the quality of the content.

Without being able to read source code, developers who post links to their source should generally be more reliable. Links will usually go to a git/svn/google code/github site for source.

If you're really curious, open up a developers user information section and look at their last 10 posts, and/or last 10 threads they started and that will start to paint a picture of how they spend their time participating in the forum.

I probably take more caution than most before I load software somebody has modified on my device. The above are all great general tips to help anybody who is "new" to a device start to familiarize themselves with the current development scene.

I was very happy to move from the EVO 4G to the EVO 3D. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
I'm in the same boat, my 3d should be waiting for me when I get home. I've been reading a lot about rooting it this morning, seems a little more involved than the 4g but doable. Then to pick a rom....so many choices, lol

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andr3wD:
I was just like you guys a few weeks ago, coming from a Evo 4G to a Evo 3D. Hope that you get a 3D without HBOOT 1.5, it's a bit harder to install ROMS and kernels on than you're used to, and you have to void you're warranty and unlock with HTC. Rooting with any other HBOOT is like rooting the Evo 4G, though.

Other than that, there's a lot of similarities between rooting the devices, but I love the Evo 3d a million times more and don't even miss the kickstand.
[HTC EVO 3D] blizzard1017:
my $.02 and most is based on you being a seasoned flasher with the 4G.

Pros:

-Much faster and smoother ride overall

-Native 3.0 so you will finally see AND ENJOY all the bells and whistles

-A lot of the really solid 4G devs are either here now exclusive or also doing 3D so you will see some familiar faces

-Really can't go wrong with any rom you chose as they are all very solid in their own rights less the posted quirks that are just to be expected

Cons: (depending on stance)

-Still an EVO so it's not like you get the full "hey I got a new phone!" feeling

-Dev is still in it's infancy stage so not as up to speed as 4G

-HBOOT 1.5 isn't the toughest thing to bypass but does add a few steps to flashing so if you were a flash-a-holic as I was you will definitely slowwww down

-ICS is starting to come along but definitely slower than most phones

Overall you will enjoy the move. 3D you will get over probably about 5 minutes after you turn it on but it's still an Evo so the phone is a beast. The community itself is a little slow but the people here especially the devs are tops in helping out.

Currently I am running OLYPUS ODEX HD V2 and love it. I went from Vipers Redline which I personally experienced a little more solid running but not enough for me to lose the extra features OLYMPUS has.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Well I got lucky I think. The 3d I got has hboot 1.4!
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
Very Nice! i would stick with a sense 3.0 rom

ive been useing fresh just for the simple fact of stability not much tweaks done

unlike the evo 4g there isnt much of any feature complete aosp roms unless you like miui style
[HTC EVO 3D] psiklone:
wow thanks a lot to all of you for the replies. i honestly didn't expect much. i feel very welcome here as a new 3D user. i just opened it and i love it! can't wait to root it and try these out. thanks again to all you i really appreciate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] psiklone:
YESS!! mine has 1.4 as well! super stoked. bout to root this puppy. this phone is faster by a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Yea this phone is uber nice, rooted with revolutionary no prob, sweeter

It looks like we'll now be getting that beautiful vanilla ICS experience with our stock Roms.

Great news IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
Wohoo. Great news!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II powered by CyanogenMod 9
[Galaxy S II General] jetpackjeff:
Really really good news! Probably the best news ever for the Android platform. Manufacturer skinning has ruined the Android experience and has drew away users that like a more universal UI like the iOS devices have.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Well, Not really...its just for app development. We will see TW based ICS for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] sinkingfish:
I'm assuming that the theme will apply to aspects of the phone such as menu's, overlays, notifications etc. Now if we install the stock ICS launcher, the rest of UI will be uniform.
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Yeah think you got the wrong end of the stick with this one but the theme is nice. Vendor skinning will always be around but we will likely keep the backgrounds to settings etc that will keep consistency.
[Galaxy S II General] jetpackjeff:
After reading more into this I realize its not as important as I assumed.
[Galaxy S II General] sinkingfish:
Looks like I got over excited. At the very least it'll mean that in time apps will be more consistant.
[Galaxy S II General] Gorjess:
seconded.. see quote below

we might still have a touchwized ICS.. but its not a bad thing..

all things vanilla goes to cyanogenmod 9 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] user032:
The only thing this means is that application developers can be confident that there will be the default theme accessible on the device. That means their layouts and graphics won't be broken because of manufacturer skins. Read the original article.
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
It definitely isn't the "end of vendor skinning", but I wonder if it will make skinning vendor skins to AOSP easier.

I guess it depends on to what extent the theme will be included inside the OS.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thescreg:
First the stats,

S-OFF

HBOOT 2.10.0001

Radio 2.15.00.11.19

Clockwork Recovery... then Amon Ra.

CM7 Nightly 256

Tiamat Kernel v4.10

The Story

I was dorking around on Twitter when I clicked on a link. The page it took me to froze, along with the rest of my phone. Nothing was responding. I did a battery pull. Phone boots and makes it to the CM7 loading screen, and loops. I attempt to boot into recovery. I get to the HBOOT screen and I can only access Fastboot. I am able to highlight recovery but I am unable to select it. I do a few more battery pulls. No dice, just boot loops. I am still able to get back to the HBOOT screen though.

I do some Googling and browse the forums and never find the same problem, only similar problems. One of the solutions to this similar problem is to put the pc36img file containing the Amon Ra recovery in the SD root. I do this, and HBOOT detects the file and prompts me to update. The update runs, I reboot the phone, it goes into a boot loop at the CM7 splash screen. I reboot back into HBOOT, my vol +/- and power buttons all non responsive on the HBOOT screen.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KommodoreHeinz:
I would probably look for an 3.70 ruu or a 3.70 pc36img. Both will set the phone back to stock. If I remember correctly this will have you on a stock non rooted rom, butbit you should still be s-off. After that just reinstall RA or CWR, then cm7.

Sounds to me like you have yourself a nasty virus.Obviously the link you went to was infected and it transfered to you.Not sure if you used an anti-virus app,but phones get virus' just like computers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thescreg:
Yeah, thats what I am thinking as well. I had been kicking around the idea of getting an AV app. If I can recover from this, I definitely will.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I wouldn't blame it on a virus, it sounds more like a CM7 bootloop of death or something. Antivirus apps are generally a waste. Phones can get viruses, but it's unlikely and would most likely not effect your hboot. It could also be hardware failure of some sort.

Hopefully an RUU will get you out of it.

Supersonic Evo 4G | MIUI | Tapatalk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thescreg:
Alright, I have an update. I was able to revert back to stock using an RUU. The power button still doesn't work when the phone is on. However, I am able to hit the HBOOT screen by holding down the power button and Vol down. Just like before, when I get to the HBOOT screen, none of the buttons work. However, if I do load a PC36IMG, the power buttons work to answer yes/no. Weird.

Anyway, I was able to root my phone again with unrevoked. I went to install CM7 again and Rom Manager wasnt showing up on the market. Normally, I would just install the ROM through recovery, but I cant get to recovery because none of my buttons work in HBOOT.

I reverted my phone back to stock with the RUU and took it into Sprint. They goofed around with it and couldnt get the power button to work either. I have the insurance, so they said they would replace it. However, apparently I have gotten some mystery water damage some how, so I have to pay $100. That isn't in the budget right now, so I figure I will try to work around the power button not working.

If I can get Rom Manager installed (I am planning on just finding the apk online), I can always boot into recovery through that. Not only that, CM7 has the handy setting that allows me to wake the phone with the volume buttons.

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations? Maybe a better way of working around a non functioning power button and locked up HBOOT?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
U could try an app called quickboot to get to recovery and if u can flash a pc36img in hboot at all u can flash amon RA style supersonic recovery v3.10 it allows u to use touch screen and capacitive buttons to navigate and select in recovery search key cap acts as select like power, it compresses backups and also allows u to restore amon RA and cwm backups so that may be a work around for u to try there's also a way to flash the recovery. Img file but I'm not up on the steps but there's a tutorial somewhere here on xda to do it

[Samsung Infuse 4G] houstonsveryown:
even on some samsung based roms it doesnt show up in the market. does anyone know why?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah market keys are weird. use the website instead. put the stock browser in desktop mode ( type "about:useragent" into the address bar without the quotation marks) or use a 3rd party browser and then navigate to market.android.com

you can also do this from any computer that's logged into your gmail account the app will get pushed to the phone.

there are different versions of the app. might need to get the one that matches the base rom if its ported. then you may also need to change the build.prop if its a ported rom. not exactly sure myself.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] houstonsveryown:
Thanks! But it was a no go. But I really appreciate the help:)
[HTC Rezound] Bubbled:
So i have been anticipating the vigor, or now the Rezound as its called, and finally got it shortly after release. Now its all hacked and cracked and thanks to ziggys kernal its even jacked. lol But it didn't start that way...

Got my first Rezound for xmas and it was great, except for the two dead pixels. I was trying to talk myself into not worrying about it cause the phone was quick and nice and i really didn't wanna send it back. I figured, well, i can always swing by a store and see if they will switch it.

So after work the next day i stopped by my local VZW and asked them to exchange it as DOA or damaged on arrival. Surprisingly (and without hassle) the sales rep says sure! so he goes to switch it out and grabs me another, after he took 45 minutes typing in the esn and sim (esn swaps take seconds) before i even leave the store i try to download firefox. Insta-fail. all apps crash, phone locks up and reboots. Im going, great. what a trade i made. Then it starts boot looping.

So before i hit the door i make a u turn and tell the rep. he tried to claim that only one DOA is allowed per customer and that there wasn't anything he could do. i started laughing at this point, asked for his manager and she comes out and tells him to push it through and gets me another one. He grudgingly agrees and goes to the back to try again.

He comes back and starts from scratch and after an hour hands me the new phone. same thing happens, locks and boot loops. this happened THREE more times, a total of 5 returned Rezounds in a row. i was shocked.

Now i finally have a good one and like i said its running great, but DAMN did it take forever to get a good one!
[HTC Rezound] bbeaulieu:
You probably have the worst luck ever.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
sounds like a bad batch with corrupted software.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Terrible luck. That's also why I'm scared to swap mine out
[HTC Rezound] hadsus:
How in the world can there only be one DOA per customer? That's as dumb a policy as there is.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I feel pretty sure about the bootlooping being caused by some network 4g/3g related thing. Removing the cover on any of those would have stopped the bootlooping and let you use the device. Most likely it's the 'authentication' issue that's been talked about, seeing as you were switching esn/sims in rapid fashion, or maybe the rep was doing it wrong was causing the glitch to surface.

I doubt you got 5 physically bad ones in a row like that.

Just out of curiosity what app were you trying to download from the market everytime this happened? I'm gonna make sure to avoid that app....
